Three Brighton students charged under anti-terror laws for failing to disclose information about the failed London bombings on July 21 have been remanded in custody.

Under tight security, Shadi Abdel Gadir, 22, and Omar Nagmeloin Almagboul, 20, both of Dyke Road, Brighton, and Mohamed Kabashi, 23, of Mary Magdalene Road, Brighton, appeared at Horseferry Road Magistrates Court in central London on Saturday.

The case against the men was adjourned until August 11 when they are due to appear at Bow Street Magistrates Court.

The three, who were all arrested in Brighton on July 31, were charged under Section 38 of the Terrorism Act 2000.

They are alleged to have had information that might be of "material assistance in securing the apprehension, prosecution or conviction" of suspected failed Shepherd's Bush attacker Hussain Osman.

Two of the men were students at the University of Brighton but left before finishing their courses.

Shadi Abdel Gadir was studying for a foundation course but left in April while Omar Nagmeloin Almagboul was studying electrical engineering but quit in March.

A spokeswoman for the university said no one by the name of Mohamed Kabashi had studied there.
